About Rick and Sharon Sunderland

We live and work in Atlanta. Sharon is a Registered Nurse and Rick is in Data Processing. We have been vacationing in South Walton since 2006 and love it. We spend as much time as we can at the beach. We Kayak, fish, walk and relax at the beach. We enjoy nature and the great weather. We love 'Hold Your Seahorses' and have enjoyed making the cottage fun and comfortable for you as well as ourselves, our kids and grand-kids.

Rick and Sharon Sunderland purchased this cottage in 2011

Why Rick and Sharon Sunderland chose Beaches of South Walton

We have stayed at many houses in Santa Rosa Beach since 2006 and we have loved it very much. This is our choice destination for vacations and family get-togethers. Purchasing this home in Old Florida Village was an easy decision.

What makes this cottage unique

Three of the main reasons we love our cottage. (1) We relax and enjoy the quiet and the sounds of nature. Enjoying coffee on the porch overlooking Hidden Lake and the birds is delightful. (2) We enjoy the beach very much. The beach during the day is delightful and walking to the beach for the sunset is a real pleasure. (3) We enjoy kayaking in the lakes, rivers and the ocean. A great pleasure is paddling at Grayton Beach just three miles east on 30A.

Perfect for family

My family (3 couples and 1 toddler) LOVED staying here! It was just perfect. We drove to the beach most days because parking was easy to find. Rick was very responsive. We will definitely try to come back next year :-)

Perfect in every way

Our family of six stayed at "Hold your Seahorses" for a few nights after Christmas. It was perfect in every way. The cookware was fabulous...there were plenty of good beach chairs and beach towels for our use ... the property and landscaping were so immaculate my husband and I called it '"Disney World." The view of nature on the pond was incredible while we sipped our morning coffee on one of the three decks...the beach was a short bike ride away...Thank you, owners, for sharing your slice of heaven.

Hold your Horses "held" nothing back!

This was our second stay at "Hold Your Horses" and we couldn't have enjoyed it more! The house is simply perfect with a place and space for everyone. With three women, the three bathrooms were especially appreciated. The owners checked in on us and made a recommendation for a new restaurant for us and WOW- we were thrilled! Check out Local Catch and the Wine Walk around the square! Thanks for making this our second home!

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
